FIREFIGHTERS are warning of the dangers of lighting fires with petrol after a woman accidentally set three of her neighbours' fences and gardens alight.
A fire brigade spokesman said that at 8.30pm last night, a woman decided to destroy her shed by burning it in the garden of her home in Hooten Lane, Lowton.
She doused it in petrol and lit it. The fire developed rapidly, spreading to her own and three of her neighbours' wooden fences. No one was injured.
